Descriptions: Hechuan Fishing City - Hechuan Fishing City is located by the side of the Jialing River, five kilometers east of Hechuan District, Chongqing City. It's one of the well-preserved ancient battle fields in China. In July 1259, the Mongolian army struck the Southern Song Dynasty by three routes. At Hechuan Fishing City, the local citizens and the army of the Southern Song put up a stout resistance. As a result, Mangu Khan was wounded by fire. Later, he passed away. Then, the Mongolians started a war of seizing the scepter, which weakened their outstretched power to Southern Song and Europe. It not only continued the Southern Song's reign but also changed the structure of the world. The Fishing City got the name as it was established on the Fishing Mountain, Diaoyushan in Chinese. In the ancient times, it was a gateway to Chongqing. The city was built along the mountain and fortified very heavily.
Ciqikou Village - Ciqikou is an ancient town near to the downtown of Chongqing. The old streets there were all paved by top-grade stone tablets. The oldest stone in Ciqikou has a history of about one thousand years. On the both sides of the street stand antique houses and shops.
